Methods, apparati, and computer-readable media for securely transporting a software application onto a tamper resistant module (TRM) (103) by using an individualized TRM key set. A method embodiment of the present invention comprises: storing a key pair unique to the TRM (103) in a memory located on the TRM (103), where the key pair comprises a TRM public key (150) and a TRM private key (190); retrieving the TRM public key from the TRM; encrypting a portion of the software application using the TRM public key (150); transmitting the encrypted software application to the TRM (103); and recovering and decrypting the encrypted software application using the TRM private key (190).
A method performed by a tamper resistant module (TRM) for processing an incoming transmission of a software application to said TRM by using an individualized key set for the TRM, the method comprising the steps of:
Apparatus located on a tamper resistant module (TRM) for processing an incoming transmission by using an individualized key set for said TRM, the apparatus comprising:
A method, performed by a personal computer (PC) having at least one multiple application tamper resistant module (TRM), each combination of PC and TRM being referred to as a PC/TRM, for processing an incoming transmission of a software application to a PC/TRM by using an individualized key set for the PC/TRM, the method comprising the steps of:
Apparatus located on a personal computer (PC) having at least one multiple application tamper resistant module (TRM), each combination of PC and TRM being referred to as a PC/TRM, for processing an incoming transmission by using an individualized key set for a PC/TRM, the apparatus comprising:
